Planar places a high value on the safety, health, and ethical treatment of all individuals in its supply chain. Signed into law in the United States on July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish rules for disclosing the use of tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold – referred to collectively as “Conflict Minerals” - purchased from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its adjoining countries.
Planar’s policy is that it does not knowingly procure materials or components containing tin, tungsten, tantalum, or gold that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or its adjoining countries. View Planar's Corporate Environmental Policy.
